On Saturday, family and friends of 22-month-old Zamora Foe came together for a gathering.
He told News4JAX that his 22-month-old daughter Zamora Foe died after being taken off of life support on September 19.
She had been hurt, which is why her mother and her mother’s boyfriend were arrested and charged with child abuse.
“Today she went without a cord.” She is no longer there. The government says there is nothing there. No air. “Zamora, my daughter, has nothing,” Bradley Foe said.
The child was taken to Wolfson Children’s Hospital last week in very bad shape. After ten days, her parts were given to other people.
The police arrested her birth mother, Zayla Goodwin, 20, and her mother’s boyfriend, Nathanial Davis, 22. No one knows how she got to the hospital. They are still in jail on charges of neglecting their child.
The biological father of Zamora said he will never forget the time when police told him that his daughter had broken bones all over her body and in her head.
“When I heard about it for the first time, I broke down.” I cried very hard. I had lost the ability to do anything. Foe said, “I didn’t know how to move anymore.”
An arrest report with a lot of redactions says the child was hurt in her mother’s house.
According to the report, Goodwin told police that she woke up to noise in the living room and then saw her boyfriend doing CPR on her daughter who wasn’t responding.
When doctors told police about the child’s injuries, the murder unit of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was told. This led to a search warrant being carried out on the mother’s home.
The two were arrested based on evidence found at the house, statements made by both Goodwin and Davis, and the results of a medical test.
“That will cover everything.” To bury her. For her to have a tombstone that fits her. It’s murder. A family friend for a long time, Sylvia Teers, said, “She was brutally killed.”
Following Zamora’s death, the charges against Goodwin and Davis might be changed to murder.
